SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 551,936, dated December24, 1895.

Application filed August 24, 1895.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIPP SEILER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Winger-Stands; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a novel construction in a wringer-stand, theobject being to provide a device of this kind in which the wringer canbe turned without removing the same from the stand; and it consists inthe features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fullydescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating my invention, Figure 1 is atransverse vertical section of a wringer-stand constructed in accordancewith my invention, taken on the line 11 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal vertical section of the same with the wringer removed andthe supports for the tubs broken off, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.Fig. 3 is a detail view of the devices for clamping the bar supportingthe wringer firmly in position in the stand.

Referring now to said drawings, 1 and 2 are uprights supported on thebases 3 and firmly held in their relative positions at each side of thestand by cross-pieces 4. and 5. The upper ends of said uprights 1 and 2are provided with recesses 6, in which the bar 7, to which the wringer 8is secured, is held. Recesses 9, smaller than said recesses (3, are cutin said uprights and extended downwardly from the bottom of saidrecesses G. Bolts 10 extend through said uprights near the upper end toalever 16, by means of which it is raised Serial No. 560,352. (Nomodel.)

when it is desired to raise said bar 7 and turn the same to turn thewringer, as shown in dotted lines in Fig 1. Said lever 16 is pivoted toarms 17, which are pivoted at their other ends to said cross-piece l,and extends through a recess in said upright 2 below the cross piece 4,its outer end being adapted to be engaged by the foot to depress thesame and thus raise the bar 7 and wringer 8.

When it is desired to turn the wringer, it is necessary only to releasethe eccentrics, press upon the end of the lever 16 with the foot andraise the supporting-bar 7 and the wringer, then turn the same, drop thebar back into place, and turn the eccentrics to fasten the bar in place.

My stand is provided with the usual folding supports for the tubs, whichare hinged to said uprights 1 and 2 and extend on each side of the samein the usual manner.

I claim as my invention 1. In a wringer stand, a supporting bar fittingwithin recesses in the ends of the uprights of said stand, and devicesfor raising said supporting bar consisting of a vertical shaft havingpivotal connection with said supporting bar and pivot-ally secured atits lower end to a lever pivotally mounted upon said stand,substantially as described.

2. In a wringer stand, a supporting bar fitting within recesses in theends of the uprights of said stand, and means for raising and turnin gsaid bar consisting of a vertical shaft pivotally secured at its lowerend to a lever pivotally mounted upon said stand, the upper end of saidshaft entering a sleeve on said bar 7, substantially as described.

3. In a wringer stand, a supporting bar fitting Within recesses in theends of the uprights of said stand, means for raising and turning saidbar consisting of a vertical shaft pivotally secured at its lower end toa lever pivotally mounted on said stand, the upper end of said shaftentering a sleeve on said bar 7, and means for clamping said bar withinsaid recesses, substantially as described.

at. In a wringer stand, a supporting bar fitting within recesses in theends of the uprights of said stand, means for raising and turning saidbar consisting of a vertical shaft pivotally secured at its lower end toa lever pivotally mounted on said stand, the upper end of said shaftentering a sleeve on said bar 7, and means for clamping said bar Withinsaid recesses consisting of bolts passing through said uprights andprovided at one end With eccentrics adapted to engage said uprights tocontract said recesses, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
